I love that I read it in her voice.

You don’t think MAGA goons would organize constitutional conventions to keep their god king in office?

My district voted 86% for Trump to 14% for Harris.

I have no neighbors. Just people who will report me to the secret police in the future.

Yes. Named for its incredibly complex reproductive organs that loop around like a hotwheels track.

Black licorice is best licorice. Red licorice is just a sugar rope. Licorice is anise flavor and is an amazingly complex experience!

Fight me.

You wouldn’t a you wouldn’t would you?

Reframe failure as winning.

You haven’t died, so you’ve succeeded in staying alive. That in itself is an achievement. And is generally more than most humans to ever exist can claim. Most died in childhood.

There’s nothing wrong with being a virgin. It’s a state that can change, but there’s no rush or pressure. Engage in activities you find interesting—you’ll meet like-minded people along the way. You may want to reconsider your visual standards or work on your communication skills. Focus on finding people who appreciate you for who you are. Common interests and truly caring about others are attractive traits. (Also, remember, older people are often still sexually active, so losing your virginity is possible even in your later years.) ((As a gay man, I can assure you that everyone is someone’s fetish—no exaggeration. Based on the categories on straight porn sites, the same seems true for heteronormative people.))

Start small. Incremental change over time is more sustainable than trying to make massive, instant changes. Identify the aspects of your life that you don’t like, and work to improve them gradually. Reflect on the wonder of being able to ponder your own existence. Lie in the grass, look up at the sky, and feel your mind wrestle with the idea that you won’t fall up into the sky.

Even if you don’t have a lot of money, there are free things you can do. Turn off your phone, leave your headphones at home, and take a walk on a trail at night. Listen to the sounds of the woods, look at the stars, and feel the breeze.

Nothing inherently matters, and that can be freeing. Since life has no intrinsic meaning, you’re free to assign meaning to the things that matter to you. Take the time you have and focus on what you enjoy.

Even if none of this resonates with you, I hope tomorrow is a better day. And that each tomorrow is better than the last. One thing you can always have is hope. Nothing can kill hope—not a dictator, not a bad date, not the weather, not even the heat death of the universe. Hope lives on. Time marches on. This too shall pass.

Let’s all ban steaks because children might choke on them for not knowing how to properly cut them!!!¡!!!

Jesus fucking Christ. Just pay attention to your goddamn children and talk to them. Listen to them. They are no one else’s but your own. And if you didn’t want to care for them, you shouldn’t have had them. And if it was a mistake, abort or adopt them out.

They are neither slaves nor toys. They are just little humans that want to learn and grow up to be big humans. Teach them.

Goodbye.

This is generally what my aquarium looked like for the few months I had to stay with family after getting laid off. Thankfully my fish were all Gambusia affinis and are super hardy.

Best of luck on upgrading over time!

Oh no! I’m old!

Asked my therapist to refer me to a psychiatrist that could do ADHD testing. They did an interview and 2 different IQ tests. Now I see my psychiatrist every 30 days to get my controlled substance prescription.

Paradoxical stimulant response and substance abuse disorder points to ADHD, often misdiagnosed in adults as anxiety and depression.

I was misdiagnosed for 10 years with no effect from the meds for anxiety and depression. Stimulant meds work well for me. Not for everyone tho.
